Loading the Camera

[Return to Manual index] [Previous page] [Next page]

Loading the Camera

Turn down the lever 9. Unlock the back 11 with lock 21 and pull it off.

Inserting the battery

Unscrew the slotted screw cap 25 with a coin. Insert the fresh battery

into the camera, so that the plus sign + remains visible. Replace the

screw cap 25 and screw tight with a coin.

Inserting the film

Swing open the pressure plate 26.

Push in the cartridge and pull out the film leader until both perforated

edges engage the sprocket shaft 27. Then swing the pressure plate 26 over

the film and hold it down.

Push the film leader fully through the slot

28 and wind it up on the take-up spool by

turning the milled wheel 29 in the

direction of the arrow as long as it can be

turned.

Push the camera back 11 in place and

lock it.

Push the camera back 11 in place until it stop and lock it with lock 21.

Advancing the film to frame No. 1

Pull out the lens 4 and turn as far as it will go to engage. Remove the

lens cap.

Alternately press down release button 18 and advance by pulling the

lever 14 to its stop until the frame counter 10 indicates No. 1. Checking

correct film advance: rewind axle 30 will rotate as the film is wound on.

Setting the film speed

Set the index of the film speed dial 7 to the ASA or DIN speed rating

shown on the film packing.

Setting the film indicator

Set the pointer of indicator 2 to the film type in use (black and white

negative, colour negative film, artificial light colour film, daylight colour

film 3).

Shooting
[Return to Manual index] [Previous page] [Next page]
Shooting
Set the controls by pressing the index fingers against the
lower edge of the setting dials. This also releases the
aperture dial 5 by pressing on the ledge 6 underneath.
All settings are read off against the triangular index mark
at the top.
Pre-select the exposure time
Turn the shutter speed dial 1 to engage the selected
exposure time opposite the index mark. For
instantaneous exposures see hint 6. See also time
exposures
Line up the matching pointer
The measuring range starts where the meter needle 16 becomes visible outside the red area.
For reliable readings, point the camera accurately at the subject, so that the exposure meter takes in the
correct field of view. For shots out of doors with large sky areas point the camera slightly downwards
rather than upwards.
With the camera held in this way: Turn the aperture dial 5 to bring the
red matching pointer 17 into line with the meter needle 16. If
neccessary select a longer or shorter exnosure time.
The shutter speed and aperture are now set for correct exposure. For pre-selecting apertures see hint 7.
Setting the distance
Turn the setting ring 22 to set the required distance to the index mark , also hint 8.
The same scale ring carries distances in meters in its opposite side (to see that, turn the camera upside
down).
Remark.: In the models scaled in meters, the feet scale is in its opposite side.
Releasing
Sight the subject in the finder 13: The brilliant frame shows the view taken in. Press the shutter release
button 18. For longer exposure times: keep the release button pressed down until the shutter action is
finished.
The short boundary marks within the brilliant frame show the limits of the field of view at near distances
below 5 feet (1.5 meters).
For self-timer exposures see hint 2.
After shooting
To get the camera ready for the next shot, pull the winding lever 14 out as far as it will go with your
thumb.
The frame counter 10 shows the number of the next shot. If the winding lever 14 is locked, this signifies
that the camera is ready for shooting. Now you can release the lens 4 by pressing the button 15, and then
turn to the left and push back into the body.

Unloading the film

[Return to Manual index] [Previous page] [Next page]

Unloading the film

After frame 36, 20 or 12 (depending on film length loaded) the film has

to be rewound:

Turn the lever 9 upwards. Unfold the crank 24 and turn in direction of

arrow until the resistance of pulling the film disappears.

Fold in the crank again and turn down the lever 9.

Move the lock 21 outwards and remove the camera back 11. Take out the

cartridge and preferably have processed as soon as possible.

Never change a film in direct sunlight. Use, at least, the shadow of your

own body.

1. Shooting with the lens hood

The lens mount will take the screw-in folding lens hood to protect

the lens against direct rays from the sun, as well as against

splashes of water and drops of rain. It ensures optimum brilliance

and sharpness for your shots. Always use it whenever possible see

hint 4 also.

2. Self-timer exposures

Separate self-timers can be used, provided that the travel of the

release plunger on the self-timer can be precisely matched to the

travel of the release button 18.

Self-timers with too long a release plunger travel or too hard a

release movement may damage the camera.

3. Exposures with cable release

Use the camera on a tripod or firm support, screw the cable release

into the release knob 18. See also "For long time exposures"

Practical Hints

[Return to Manual index] [Previous page] [Next page]

4. Exposures with filters

The thread of the lens 4 or the lens hood mount takes a screw-in filter:

30.5 x 0.5 for Sonnar lensed models (35S / 35SE)●

24.0 x 0.5 for Tessar lensed models (Original 35 / 35T)●

Filters mostly require an exposure correction. Its value is engraved on the filter mount. This indicates the

number of stops by which the aperture has to be opened (towards lower f/numbers) or the exposure time

increased .

For example if the measured aperture is f/11, and the filter correction value -1.5 ( i.e. 1 l/2 aperture stops),

use an aperture setting between f/8 and f/5.6

If you want to correct by increasing the exposure time, moving the shutter speed dial from one value to

the next corresponds to a full exposure step correction. Half steps can only be allowed for by intermediate

aperture settings.

Filters for black and white shots:

Medium yellow filter: (exposure correction -1.5). This makes the sky reproduce darker, clouds more

brilliant and improves modelling in snow shadows.

Orange filter: (exposure correction -1.5 to -3, according to the film type used). This darkens blue skies to

give heavy thunderstorm effects and lightens yellows and reds.

Filters for colour shots:

Filter UV and colour conversion filter R 1.5: (these require no exposure correction). They subdue blue

casts which can arise on cloudless days through the predominant blue skylight, especially in distant views.

With some reversal colour films a warmer overall rendering may be desirable. In that case the R 1.5 filter

may be used for all shots.

5. Flash shots

Accessory shoe 20 with X-central flash outlet can take a flash gun.

Flash guns without central contact require the flash cable adapter

301060.

Flash bulbs and electronic flash can be used. For colour shots use

only blue bulbs or electronic flash.

For flash shots, ignore the exposure meter. Set the exposure time,

aperture and subject distance as recommended by the manufacturer

of the flash unit

Permissible shutter speeds:

Flash bulbs -1/30 second or longer (shorter speeds will cause underexposures or even no exposures at

all).

Electronic flash - any speed up to 1/500 second.

Shadow areas are reduced if the flash gun is situated above the lens and the camera held accordingly: keep

the flash to the left of the camera for upright shots, and on top for horizontal shots.

The camera is easy to operate in both these positions.

6. Selecting the best shutter speed

The figures 2 to 500 on the shutter speed dial 1 indicate fractions of a second. The speed dial engages at

each setting; never set intermediate values. Image sharpness depends, among other things, on the use of a

sufficiently fast shutter speed. Therefore :

With hand-held exposures: Use fast speeds to avoid camera shake. The longest usable time is 1/30

second; 1/60 and 1/125 second are safer and more reliable. With a not very steady hand use 1/125 or,

better still, 1/250 second .

With moving subjects: Use short exposure times to avoid movement blur. As a general guide:

Motor races, tennis - 1/500 second.●

Horse races, cross country runners -

1/500 second.

●

Running children and cyclists -1/250 to

1/125 second.

●

Walking figures, standing people-1/125

to 1/60 second.

●

In general: Movement at close range and across the

viewing direction needs faster shutter speeds, movement

from greater distances and approaching or receding from

the camera allows slower shutter speeds.

Longtime exposures

The "B" setting on the shutter speed dial provides time exposures of any required length. Keep the release

button depressed for the required exposure time. The shutter closes when you let go again.

With longtime exposures you can also take shots in very poor light which is too weak for an exposure

meter reading. As a special case, if you arrive at the "B" setting by lining up the matching pointer 17, the

correct exposure time is 1 second (double the next exposure setting).

For long time exposures: place the camera on a firm support or a tripod and use a cable release with time

lock (see hint 3).

7. Pre-selecting apertures

According to the type of subject you can line up the

matching pointer 17 with the meter needle by turning

either the aperture dial 5 or the shutter speed dial 1.

With moving subjects pre-select the exposure time to

make sure of a suitably fast shutter speed Then match up

the pointer by turning the aperture dial.

If on the other hand depth of field is more important (see

hint 8), determine the required aperture and preselect this

Now match up the pointer 17 by turning the shutter speed

dial 1. If necessary complete the exact matching with the

aperture dial 5 to get a speed value in clickstop position.

In every case the camera must point at the subject while

you line up the pointer.

8. Depth of field

The image of a subject is sufficiently sharp

over a range of distances in front of and

behind the focused distance. This depth of

field zone is shown on the depth of field

scale 3:

Look up the marks of the aperture in use to

each side of the focusing index The figures

on the distance ring 22 opposite these marks

then indicate the sharply covered subject

range

Depth of field is particularly desirable for

candid snapshots, sports photography with

rapidly changing subject distances, and for

scenes extending in depth. For this reason

the most useful snapshot settings of 6 and

20 feet (or 2 and 6 at meter scale) are marked in red on the distance ring 22. At a medium aperture (f/8 to

f/11) these settings provide extended focusing ranges:

Scale at

Distance range in focus

6 feet

(2 m)

from about 4'l/2" to 9 feet

( from about 1.5m to 3m)

20 feet

(6 m)

from about 10 feet to infinity

(from about 3m to infinity)

For distant views with near foregrounds set the infinity marking "oo" opposite the aperture in use on scale

3. That extends the depth of field to the nearest possible point in the foreground.

9. Correct exposure

As a basic rule, always point the camera while taking exposure readings exactly in the direction of the

subject. Inadvertent tilting of the camera - for example, into the sky while taking landscape views - can

falsify the reading and in this case lead to under-exposure.

The exposure meter evaluates the average brightness of the measured subject field. With.subjects of

average contrast it automatically indicates the correct exposure. But even with shots of considerable

brightness range you can take the readings in such a way as to ensure correct exposure for the main

subject.

Normal subjects: the view is lit from the front or at an angle from the side. There are no heavy shadows,

and dark and bright areas are balanced. (This uniform front lighting also yields the most saturated colours

in colour shots).

Result: The measured exposure is correct for the whole field of view.

A special case: The main subject contrasts strongly in brightness against

the background. For example, with a portrait of a suntanned face against

bright clouds an average reading would give too much importance to the

sky. Yet it is the head which matters for the exposure.

The right way: Take a close-up reading with the camera near the subject

until the main object completely fills the finder. After setting the exposure

go back for shooting to the previous viewpoint.

Substitute reading: If a close-up reading is not possible, point the camera

at a substitute object of average contrast and under the same lighting. Use the setting obtained for the

exposure.

Against the light: When shooting against the light open the lens aperture by one stop (next lower

f/number) .

For colour subjects to be taken on reversal colour film: Avoid very great brightness differences. A

close-up reading of the shadow areas usually leads to excessive exposure for the sunlit image portions,

which then appear too light and burnt out when you project the slide. An average brightness reading (as

with normal subjects) here again yields pictures which correspond most closely to the natural colour

impression.

10. Film transport

You can operate the winding lever14 either in one full swing or in several short swings until it locks.

11.Changing the battery

The cadmium sulphide exposure meter 19 is powered by a Mallory battery PX 625.

According to the manufacturer, the durability of the battery is 12 to 24 months, provided that the

unused camera is kept in the case i. e. in the dark. The voltage drop occurs suddenly.

Symptom: the meter needle 16 does not deflect any more. Recommended precautions: Change battery

annually, and remove it if the camera is not used over an extended period, always remove an exhausted

battery, (see Inserting the battery).

12. Is the camera loaded?

If you are not sure after a long interval, unfold the rewind crank 24 and try turning it gently in the

direction of the arrow. If you meet a resistance you know that there is a film in the camera. If the camera

is empty, the crank 24 turns freely.

13. Carrying strap and carrying case

The carrying strap is fixed to the fitting 12 at the side. Push the

protruding retaining spring against the camera body with the button on

the strap and push the button home.

To remove, push down the spring leaves with a fingernail and slide off

the button.

With the strap the camera can hang from the wrist even inside its

carrying case. Open the zip fastener of the case and push back the latter.

During shooting it simply hangs from the strap.

Practical Hints

14. Taking care of the camera

Protect the camera against hard knocks and do not drop it.As a safety measure, wrap the strap around your

wrist.

Protect the camera against moisture, dust, wind-blown sand at the seaside and continuous exposure to

sunlight. This applies especially when the camera is opened while changing films. Keep the film pressure

plate 26 clean, and occasionally polish it with a leather cloth. For cleaning the inside of the body use a soft

brush.

A soft sable brush is also the best means for cleaning the lens 4. The lens surfaces are sufficiently recessed

to avoid accidental finger marks. To clean filters, first dust them with a soft brush and then polish with

lens tissue.

If the lens surface mists over in the winter when taking the camera from the cold air outside into the warm

air of a room, wait a few minutes until the deposit of moisture has evaporaled on its own.

And if at any time you have a special technical query - at home or on your travels abroad - remember that

the international Rollei Service is always at your disposal for advice and information.
